Heat stress and heat stroke measures for factories and work sites [Windbreak Room Protect Eco Room]

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will strengthen the obligation for heatstroke measures with penalties starting in June 2025 to address the increasing trend of heatstroke incidents in the workplace. Failure to implement or manage these measures may result in guidance, correction, and penalties under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. One effective measure against heatstroke is the installation of a windbreak room (Protect Eco Room). ■ Effects and Benefits 1. Blocks the intrusion of hot winds from outside, improving air conditioning efficiency. 2. Enhances the cooling effect of break rooms and waiting areas by retaining cool air in air-conditioned spaces. 3. Can also be utilized as a temporary cooling space for emergency treatment. 4. Installing a windbreak room that partitions the space increases air conditioning efficiency, enables measures against heat and heatstroke, and contributes to energy savings. 5. Maintaining a comfortable working environment is expected to improve work efficiency and productivity, and reduce errors. 6. By ensuring the health and safety of employees, a decrease and improvement in turnover rates is anticipated. ■ Protect Eco Room is recommended for the following locations: Break rooms Entrances and exits of warehouses and logistics centers Loading and unloading areas of manufacturing plants Temporary waiting areas in production sites, etc.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will make heatstroke prevention measures in the workplace mandatory for employers starting in June 2025 (Reiwa 7), with strict management and penalties. The measures will apply to work conducted in environments where the "heat index" is 28 or higher, or the temperature is 31 degrees or higher, and is expected to last for more than one hour continuously or more than four hours in a day. To protect workers in job sites and factories, installing windbreak rooms will enhance air conditioning efficiency, enabling effective heat and heatstroke prevention measures. By maintaining a comfortable working environment, improvements in work efficiency and productivity, as well as reductions in mistakes, are anticipated. Ensuring the health and safety of employees is expected to lead to a decrease and improvement in turnover rates. 【Main Features】 ● Energy-saving and power-saving effects Dividing spaces with high-quality vinyl materials reduces air conditioning costs and improves energy efficiency. ● Dust and wind prevention Prevents dust and wind from the outside, maintaining the environment within the booth. ● Prevention of droplet dispersion Prevents the dispersion of droplets to ensure safety and hygiene in the work area. ● Easy assembly without special tools (a Phillips screwdriver is required separately) With a unit structure of 800mm x 2100mm, sheets and panels can be replaced on a unit basis.

Easy to assemble, this windbreak room can be installed simply by inserting the frames in order. By installing a windbreak room within the factory, air conditioning efficiency can be improved, enabling measures against heat and heatstroke. Maintaining a comfortable working environment can lead to increased work efficiency and productivity, as well as a reduction in mistakes. It is expected to ensure the health and safety of employees, leading to a decrease and improvement in turnover rates. 【Main Features】 ● Energy-saving and power-saving effects Dividing the space with high-quality vinyl material reduces air conditioning costs and improves energy efficiency. ● Dust and wind prevention Prevents dust and wind from the outside, maintaining the environment within the booth. ● Splash prevention Prevents the spread of splashes to ensure safety and hygiene in the work area. ● Easy assembly without special tools (a plus screwdriver is required separately) With a unit structure of 800mm x 2100mm, sheets and panels can be replaced on a unit basis. ● Processing such as drilling is also possible The lower part of the side is made of plastic board, allowing for the drilling of holes for spot cooler outlets.

This is an easy-to-assemble windbreak room that can be installed simply by inserting the frames in order. By installing a windbreak room within the factory, it becomes possible to address heat stress and heatstroke prevention. Additionally, maintaining a comfortable working environment can be expected to improve work efficiency and productivity, as well as reduce work errors. It can help ensure the health and safety of employees, leading to a decrease and improvement in turnover rates. 【Main Features】 ● Energy-saving and power-saving effects By partitioning the space with high-quality vinyl materials and design, it reduces air conditioning costs and improves energy efficiency. ● Dust and wind prevention It prevents dust and wind from the outside, maintaining the environment inside the booth. ● Splash prevention It prevents the spread of splashes to ensure safety and hygiene in the work area. ● Easy assembly without special tools (a Phillips screwdriver is required separately) The unit structure of 800mm x 2100mm allows for sheets and panels to be replaced on a unit basis. ● Processing such as drilling is also possible The lower part of the side is made of plastic board, allowing for drilling holes for spot cooler outlets.
